Mark messages as read on Mac

Hi there,


I am currently receiving SMS messages on my Mac. Unlike iMessages, when I read them on my iPhone, they aren not also marked as read on Mac.


Does anyone know either:


  1. How to mark all conversations as read on Mac, or
  2. How to have messages appear as read once opened on iPhone (ideal option)?


I'd like to not have to just turn off SMS on my Mac.


Thanks!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0

Use Messages in iCloud


And then on the Device >> Setting >> Messages and Enable Text Forwarding. Also, while in there and inside Text Forwarding check if the Computer is listed and make sure it is Enable via slider to Green.
